Dr. Nicole Hutchison is a Principal Investigator and research engineer at the Systems
Engineering Research Center (SERC). Her primary work through the SERC includes
the Helix project; she has served on the project for 6 years. She was a member of the BKCASE research team
from 2009-2014 and now serves as the Editor for Healthcare for the Systems
Engineering Body of Knowledge. Before joining Stevens, she spent 5 years
working for Analytic Services, supporting the US Departments of Defense,
Homeland Security, Health and Human Services, and Justice. She has helped to
plan and conduct exercises in Emergency Management, helped run the Louisiana
Family Assistance Center following Hurricanes Katrina and Rita, and served 10
years in emergency medicine. She holds a PhD in systems engineering from
Stevens as well as a master’s degree in Biohazardous Threat Agents and Emerging
Infectious Disease from Georgetown University as well as her INCOSE CSEP.
